What is the current situation of Xuan Laoxiu?" At the end, Chen Ping asked.

Because he had been cultivating in the village and had never gone out, he hadn't paid attention to Xuan Laoxiu for a while.

"As you said, this old cultivator has bad intentions. Three of the missions were with the team to carry out the mission, during which I was very careful, and I knew at a glance that I was looking for an opportunity to attack me." Xiyue's eyes were slightly rippling, with a deep cold glow.

With Chen Ping's reminder in front, Xiyue naturally did not let Xuan Lao succeed.

"During this period, I tried to set up a situation to deal with him, but he was extremely cautious, and he did not fall into the trap, and he was always with the team. It's not easy to get rid of him quietly." Xiyue added.

More than a year has passed, and even if he brought the pill at the beginning, he should have eaten it a long time ago.

But Xuan Lao Xiu is still thinking about it.

The thief's heart doesn't die.

Chen Ping showed a soft look on his face:

"If it's really hard to deal with it, I'll wait for myself to pay more attention to him. He essentially wants our belongings, and maybe as time goes by, when he thinks that our elixir has been exhausted, he won't care anymore. We don't have to retaliate."

Hearing this, Xiyue looked at Chen Ping in disbelief, as if she wanted to see through whether Chen Ping's words were true.

"What do you think I'm doing? Master, you know me, I like to be kind to others the most. As long as the other party gives up the idea of the past, they can still be friends with each other." Chen Ping saw Xiyue's playful gaze and added.

As a result, Xiyue's gaze became even more playful.

Chen Ping was speechless.

This cheap master obviously has a misunderstanding of himself.

didn't want to talk to Xiyue anymore, and returned to the quiet room.

Xuan Laoxiu did not change his mind, this had to be put before, as long as he stayed in the village, most of Xuan Laoxiu had nothing to do.

The village is so small, with a radius of less than ten miles, there are so many golden pills in it, and there are even more powerful golden pills, it is basically impossible to quietly solve another golden pill in this situation, and lick the bag smoothly and leave.

This is also the reason why Chen Ping has never cared much about Xuan Laoxiu.

But now it's different.

War will start in two years.

It's always the messiest before the big war.

Moreover, when the battle comes, fighting alongside someone who is eyeing you is the equivalent of putting your neck under someone else's sword.

When the head hits the ground is just a matter of someone else's words.

Therefore, Xuan Laoxiu must die.

Die before the Great War comes.

Fortunately, there are still two years to go, and you can slowly think about the plan.

'The big war is coming, Xiyue is right, this village is short of resources, and there is nothing to replenish resources. Improving strength is the most important thing. ，

'Strength is the guarantee of survival. ，

Chen Ping thought about it, closed the stone door tightly, and felt it carefully, making sure that there was no superfluous divine sense in the quiet room to monitor him, so he transformed himself into Xuan Laoxiu's appearance.

Jump off the jade bed and stand on the ground.

"There is a body outside the body, and the manifestation is manifested in the spirit; There is no substance in the form, and the hidden is in the gods."

"Escape !!"

With a silent thought, he suddenly disappeared into the quiet room.

At present, the Earth Escape Technique has been cultivated to the realm of 'Great Perfection', and compared to when he just entered the 'Great Grandmaster', at that time, all the parameters have made a qualitative leap.

The time of land escape has been increased by more than ten times, and now it can last for 24 hours.

The speed of earth escape has also been greatly improved, and a distance of 3,000 miles can be escaped in half an hour.

You must know that when I first entered the 'Great Grandmaster', the time of the earth escape was only 2 hours, and the speed only reached 80% of the speed of Edgeworth.

This spell is a basic type of spell, and it is not as difficult to cultivate as the Qingmang Sword, but for other monks, if they can practice it, they will reach the 'Great Grandmaster'

, the level of proficiency is very rare.

At this moment, Chen Ping went straight down and ran away.

More than ten miles away from the surface, because of the stone tower, there is not a single demon beast.

But after going deeper, there may be underground monsters.

Chen Ping first used his divine sense to explore the way.

His divine sense has almost no fluctuations, and even if he uses his divine sense to explore the way, he will not alarm the demon beasts underground.

Within twenty miles, I didn't encounter any demon beasts, and after continuing to go down, I saw a snake demon.

Chen Ping secretly bypassed and continued to go down.

When he went deep into the ground fifty or sixty miles, his divine sense swept over an underground overlord's nine-knot lizard. This kind of demon beast has extremely strong attack power, and the sense of territory is very strong, plus the combat effectiveness of the Terran monks underground is greatly reduced, and it will be very dangerous once it is encountered head-on.

Chen Ping didn't alarm it, quietly bypassed, and then continued down.

Once you reach this depth, the difficulty of continuing to escape increases dramatically.

The underground of this world has one thing in common with the pre-piercing world, that is: the deeper you go underground, the greater the pressure, the higher the temperature, the denser the soil, and the more viscous it is.

The difference is that this world also has an additional 'earth, the exclusivity of the elements.

When the art of retreat is not proficient enough, the degree of fusion between the monk and the 'earth, the element' is not high, and at this depth it will be strongly repelled by the 'earth, the element.

Escaping became like crawling in the mud.

It's going to be very tough.

This degree of fusion has nothing to do with cultivation, only with the mastery of this spell.

Fortunately, Chen Ping's degree of integration has peaked.

When the earth escapes, he is the earth.

Even so, when he reached a depth of eighty or ninety miles, his speed began to decrease rapidly, and the distance that his divine sense could reach was also rapidly reduced.

He continued to dive down for a few more miles.

It's close to a hundred miles, almost to the limit. ，

'Here it is. The nine-knotted lizard usually stays at a depth of about fifty or sixty miles, and it will also be repelled if it goes deeper. Thirty miles of buffer space is reserved for safety. ，

Chen Ping began to flee in the direction of the Evil Spirit Mine.

At this depth, his earth escape speed had dropped to only 1,500 li every half an hour (per hour), far below Jin Dan's flight speed.

Fortunately, he could stay in seclusion for 24 hours.

No wonder Xiyue said that this spell was not suitable for sneaking out of the Canglan Grassland. I'm only at this speed. Although the speed of the earth escape on the surface can be increased after the cultivation is improved, if the fusion degree cannot be increased, the speed will not be able to go up after going deep underground. ，

At this speed and the length of the escape, it really can't get far. It's not as good as flying carefully in the wasteland. ，

At most, you can hide underground for a while when you encounter bat-like monsters. ，

Still, it's valuable for close stealth. ，

The Evil Spirit Mine is 20,000 miles away from the village, and according to Chen Ping's speed, it is about 7 hours away.

Chen Ping cautiously walked away, and when he reached this depth, his divine sense range was only six or seven times the normal divine sense range, and the clear range was even shorter.

He needed to be extra careful of potential underground monsters.

Fortunately, the road was smooth, and at this depth, there was basically no existence of underground demon beasts.

A few hours later, Chen Ping appeared under the Evil Spirit Mine.

In the book he bought and the experience sharing through Xiyue, he had a certain understanding of this evil spirit mine, and knew that the reason why this spirit mine was so named was because there was an evil spirit-like third-order late-stage demon beast on its surface, the White Feather Jiao.

No one dared to touch it.

I also know that this spiritual mine is also the largest spiritual stone raw mine in the hundreds of thousands of miles of the village.

I don't know much about the situation underground in the spirit mine.

It wasn't until this moment that I couldn't help but be happy when I arrived.

The underground part of this vein is longer and richer than Chen Ping imagined.

Nearly a hundred miles deep, you can still see the ore, and it seems to be stretching downward. ，

'It's a lot, enough to cultivate for many years. ，

Chen Ping raised his head and looked up.

Then he fled upwards along the veins, Bai Yujiao was in the surface range of the spirit mine, and he needed to confirm its location.

On the way up, he saw a huge monster cave, which looked like an abandoned nine-section lizard cave.

The cave seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

Could it be that he wanted to rub the spirit mine and was driven away by the newcomer White Feather Jiao?

There are two forms of existence of monsters underground.

One is the ninth-order lizard, which does not exist in the form of a state of earth retreat, but digs a hole in the ground and inhabits it.

The other is the white feather Jiao, which does not like to stay underground, but can travel through the earth like a human race. In this case, their existence beneath the ground is in a state of retreat.

Chen Ping continued to go up, about seventy miles underground, and saw a few small man-made mining holes, and there were some remains next to them.

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel horrified.

It seems that a monk once went deep into a depth of seventy miles to steal mines.

Just, it looks like it's dead?

Chen Ping didn't continue to go up, and under the release of his divine sense, he could see that the huge third-order late-stage white feather Jiao was lying in the cave napping.

As with the information learned, this white feather Jiao basically does not go out.

After Chen Ping knew what to expect, he turned around and went down along the vein.

Deep, deep, deep.

It wasn't until he reached one hundred and ten miles that Chen Ping found a natural mine hole, drilled out of the soil, and restored his body.

"Whew."

He exhaled.

That's it. ，

According to the data, the maximum depth that the white feather Jiao can burrow into the ground is about sixty or seventy miles. As long as I move lightly, it should be safe enough. ，

The spiritual mine here is different from that of the Western Wilderness.

The spiritual mines in the Western Wilderness all have formations attached to the spiritual veins to protect each other, and unless the formation is broken, they absolutely cannot and cannot easily touch the spiritual veins.

But here there is no owner.

As long as you don't alarm the monsters.

Chen Ping looked for it, the spirit mine here is already the tail end of this spirit mine, and the resources are not too much.

Moreover, most of this kind of primordial spirit ore are impure spirit ores that contain a large number of impurities.

Not to mention the toxoid.

The aura content is also not high.

Only some high-quality raw ore in a large number of impure ore inclusions has high value.

Chen Ping searched for a while, found a huge spirit stone raw ore of good quality, and gently applied force. With a palm, the huge piece of ore suddenly loosened.

But at this moment, the white feather Jiao's originally slightly closed eyes on the ground suddenly opened, and after turning his head to look around, he slammed into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ping, who was taking the spirit mine, immediately sensed the movement above.

Subconsciously pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

The Divine Consciousness stared silently at the movement above, ready to flee as it fought.

Eighty miles, seventy miles, sixty miles, fifty miles......

Chen Ping's spirit became more and more tense.

Forty miles, thirty miles......

The white feather Jiao, who was in a state of retreat, was only thirty miles away from Chen Ping, and finally could not go down any further.

"Aang, Aang~"

A few sharp claws of the white feather Jiao were picking at the high-density meteorite-like soil, and the spells were splashing, and the soil was unstable for a while, but it couldn't move an inch.

Screaming angrily.

Chen Ping, who was in the mine, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the information, it is said that Bai Yujiao can only escape into a depth of fifty or sixty miles, but he didn't expect that the real one is eighty miles.

It's good for myself

When the practice of retreat is completed, it can reach a depth of 110 miles.

For the Jindan monk, the distance of thirty miles was far enough, and the spell could not reach such a long attack distance.

The strength of the Divine Consciousness attack is far from enough.

…… Since you can't get down, you can mine with peace of mind.

While Chen Ping's divine sense paid attention to Bai Yujiao, he continued to look for the better quality spirit ore in the original ore.

「Duang~」

A large piece of spiritual ore knocked down.

"Aang~"

Bai Yujiao, who sensed this scene, was in pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and couldn't help but raise his head and howl, his paws pulled for a while, and he wanted to escape from the earth but couldn't move in.

In Bai Yujiao's eyes, this spiritual ore was its private property, and it was reluctant to violently consume the ore, but gradually used the rich spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual ore.

Think of it as a long-term den.

Exceptionally cherished.

I never thought that this human monk would knock his own spiritual ore under his nose like this.

Also specifically pick the best knock.

What kind of spirit mining is this? This is obviously digging its flesh.

「Duang~」

"Aang~"

「Duang~」

"Aang~"

「……」

One person and one demon used their divine sense to watch each other's every move from a distance of thirty miles.

Every time Chen Ping digs a piece of raw ore, Bai Yujiao screams.

Ay.

Why bother.

You can't hit me again.

Save some effort.

Besides, what is in nature is inhabited by those who can live. Why are you still not convinced?

Why can't you afford to play it so much?

Bai Yujiao was obviously not convinced, and stared at Chen Ping's every move angrily.

"What? Not convinced? I declare that Pan is going to steal your spirit ore and come to beat me." Chen Ping gave it a provocation in the transmission of divine consciousness.

He is the appearance of Xuan Laoxiu at the moment.

In Chen Ping's several provocations of "come and beat me", Bai Yujiao was furious, and he was in a posture of swearing to tear Xuan Laoxiu to the death and then eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Very good.

Anger is right.

"Hmph, I declare that Pan has been seeking immortals all my life, what wind and waves have I never seen? Afraid of you, brute? It's not that the old man said you, just your little ability, the tail hair hasn't grown, don't be embarrassed in front of the old man, get out."

"Aang~"

The feathers all over the body of the white feather Jiao were trembling.

Well.

Almost.

The fire should be in place.

Looking at this anger, it should be an enemy who does not share the sky, and it and Xuan Laoxiu must die.

As for him Chen Ping.

I haven't been here again.

What happened to Xuan Laoxiu stealing the mine and detaining me Chen Ping?

Chen Ping no longer paid attention to Bai Yujiao's angry screams and began to mine quickly, and after an hour, Chen Ping let out a sigh.

Stop.

Mining is quite tiring, and it is a technical job.

Never mind.

Provoke for a while, and the white feather Jiao will rest for a while.

White Feather Jiao's hatred of Xuanyi Pan is +1, +1, +1, +1......

Okay, keep mining.

It took three hours of digging to empty the tailings and fill all the storage bags before stopping.

After thinking about it, to be on the safe side, he provoked Bai Yujiao for a while before running away.

"I declare that I will be the monk of the village next door, what's the matter? Still afraid of you? The old man despises you as a coward, phew." Chen Ping yelled.

Aggro +1......

Then he snorted coldly and walked away.

A few hours later, Chen Ping reappeared in the quiet room of his cave.

Arrived home safely and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's a thrill, everything is done accurately

Planning, fortunately, these plans have worked.

Honestly, is this trip dangerous?

Yes.

There are variables in the nine-section lizard, and the white feather Jiao is also not completely predictable, and the same is true for the spirit mine.

But this is a weaker force than two years later. This danger is now much more manageable.

On the way to cultivating immortals, he couldn't control all the risks to zero, and he couldn't predict the future. For example, if you can predict that you will encounter a desolation when you enter the Savage Forest, you will not trade with Xiyue if you kill him.

Unfortunately, it cannot be predicted.

The only thing he can do is to make the safest and most effective choice between the various options, based on the current strength and level.

That's all.

'Fortunately, there are enough spirit ores collected on this trip, and there will be no problem at all in using it for a few years. ，

It's worth it.

But it will be difficult to mine again in the future. The Evil Spirit Mine is the largest Spirit Mine within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and only such a large Spirit Mine can extend to a depth of 100 miles, and other small Spirit Mines cannot be so deep at all. ，

It's not deep, it means that there are monsters.

There is no way to dig with peace of mind.

And the Evil Spirit Mine, a place hundreds of miles deep, the high-quality ones are basically picked up, and the rest are some not very good quality.

But Chen Ping doesn't care, this amount is enough.

He poured all the spiritual ores in the storage bag onto the ground.

My heart beat excitedly.

There are so many spirit stone raw ores, and they are still specially selected good quality spirit stone raw ore.

This... It's just too much.

Wouldn't that consume the spirit ore consume like eating and drinking water in order to completely consume it?

Hey, that's annoying.

Chen Ping smiled, roughly divided the spirit ore into categories according to quality, and then swept the spirit power and put all the spirit ore back into the storage bag.

When I opened the stone door, I saw Xiyue standing at the door:

"Where did you go? Something went wrong outside, I just came to call you, but I didn't see you."

What do you mean by 'again,'?

How did Master know that I was practicing the art of retreat again?

"What's wrong?" Chen Ping looked out.

"Do you remember the white feather Jiao that I mentioned to you that guards the evil spirit mine? As if he had gone mad, two hours ago he had launched a fierce attack outside the village. Don't know what's going on either? All the golden pills are waiting at the entrance of the village." Xiyue's eyes were slightly puzzled.

Well?

So fast?

This white feather Jiao holds a grudge like this?

As soon as I left the spirit mine with my front foot, it came running to take revenge?

"Has anyone been attacked?" Chen Ping asked.

"That's not true, although Bai Yujiao is irritable, he is still measured, and he doesn't dare to approach the village. Just provoke outside. I don't know who offended it." Xi Yuedai's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Who has nothing to do to mess with the demon beasts of the late third order? Trouble us." Chen Ping was furious.

Seeing that Xiyue dresses up like a little sister next door every time she goes out, she is very cute, or too contrasting and cute, too poked. Chen Pingdao:

"It's good that it doesn't dare to enter the village. Listen... My time, don't go out during this time, how dangerous it is."

"Hmm." Xiyue nodded.

Then he glanced at Chen Ping again and straightened his face.

How?

What's your tone of voice?

Am I a teacher, or are you a master?
